Deep learning methods have found successful applications in fields like image classification and natural language processing. They have recently been applied to source code analysis too, due to the enormous amount of freely available source code (e.g., from open-source software repositories). In this work, we elaborate upon a state-of-the-art appro...

Dual learning has been successfully applied in many machine learning applications including machine translation, image-to-image transformation, etc. The high-level idea of dual learning is very intuitive: if we map an x from one domain to another and then map it back, we should recover the original x. Although its effectiveness has been empirically...

There is a growing need to quickly and accurately identify anomalous behavior in ships. This paper applies a variation of the Density Based Spatial Clustering Among Noise (DBSCAN) algorithm to identify such anomalous behavior given a ship’s Automatic Identification System (AIS) data. This variation of the DBSCAN algorithm has been previously introd...

Time synchronization is an indispensable and fundamental requirement for all types of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) protocols and applications. The consistency and correctness of other protocols like localization, routing, etc., are highly dependent on time synchronization. However, due to the hostile deployment of wireless sensor networks, they ...

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has accounted for millions of causalities. While it affects not only individuals but also our collective healthcare and economic systems, testing is insufficient and costly hampering efforts to deal with the pandemic. Chest X-rays are routine radiographic imaging tests that are used for the diagnosis of respirato...

Video is one of the most reliable means of visual communication in a contactless manner. Currently in all work platforms ranging from UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) platform, IOT platform to software-based video conferencing platform. Video is a prime mode of communication, therefore, needs to be secured. The resource constrained devices require enc...

Computer viruses have the potential to wreak havoc on domestic and industrial computer networks by targeting and deleting important operational programs. Antivirus software is normally installed to detect and remove viruses from infected network computers. In recent times, the compartmental model approach commonly utilized to describe the dynamics ...

Digital video forensics refers to the process of analysing, examining, evaluating and comparing a video for use in legal matters. In digital video forensics, the main aim is to detect and identify video forgery to ensure a video’s authenticity. When a video is edited, the original bitstream is first decoded, edited and then re-compressed. Therefore...

Optimal control for infectious diseases has received increasing attention over the past few decades. In general, a combination of cost state variables and control effort have been applied as cost indices. Many important results have been reported. Nevertheless, it seems that the interpretation of the optimal control law for an epidemic system has r...
